Here's a story of a roaring mining town And the gal who really knew her way around There's still talk of that event 'cause the way she came and went She took the town and turned it upside down
With her red silk stockings and her green perfume She blew into this man's town with a silver boon Never was any trouble but she started some soon With her red silk stockings and her green perfume
Oh, the town was growing And the money was flowing And the boys were throwing it around Oh, the red silk stockings and the green perfume
She was singing a love song in the gambling hall When along came a stranger, he was handsome and tall He won every last dollar that we had in the room And the red silk stockings and the green perfume
Oh, the town was growing And the money was flowing And the boys were throwing it around Oh, the red silk stockings and the green perfume
Oh, she promised to meet me by the silvery moon She was meeting that stranger by the cactus dune All she left was a memory of a honky tonk tune And her red silk stockings and her green perfume
Oh, the town was growing And the money was flowing And the boys were throwing it around Oh, the red silk stockings and the green perfume.
